So, I was reading through some of the books today, and I noticed something; one being in Rise of the Runelords where it mentioned the Dominant (MM66, Plot & Poison xx). I have the Beastiary, and didn't see it in there, and I'm not finding Plot & Poison on the Pathfinder section of the site.
Also, are there any more statted up races I'm missing? I noticed Orc, Aasimar and Tiefling in the Beastiary, but was wondering if there's a book I'm missing which might detail some stuff like Drow, etc.

Well drow is certainly in the bestiary, in fact theres two of them. But what you see in Rise of the Runelords is references to 3.5 material. It was written prior to the release of Pathfinder RPG, and thus was written for 3.5 core rules. MM means monster manual for instance. Most of the monsters in the 3.5 monster manual are in the bestiary, but not all, you will just have to look for them by name as obviously the page numbers wont be of any use. It may also be a good idea to have a monster manual on hand if you plan on running rise of the runelords in pathfinder. You can always convert or adjust rules to match pathfinder if you have them in front of you, hard to do if you dont.

You aren't missing a Pathfinder Book, but sometimes Paizo references books printed by other companies, they are quite fond of some of the Green Ronin books. Plot & Poison is a book published by Green Ronin in 2002. In the first two RotR adventures they used a few things from the Book of Fiends and the Tome of Horrors and cited so on the Credits page at the beginning of the book. It took me a bit, but I found the citation in the book you are referring to as well. It is at the end in the OGL text.
While they use information from these books, for the most part they don't require you to have those books. From what I've seen they do a good job of reprinting the rules they are referencing so that you shouldn't need the book.
Hope this explains everything you needed.

"MM" is an abbreviation for "Monster Manual," which was a product produced by Wizards of the Coast for the old 3.5 edition of Dungeons and Dragons (out of print now, and you can't buy a PDF of it thanks to buttheadedness at Wizards, but a decent amount of the creatures were reprinted in nicer form in the Bestiary). Predates the Bestiary by several years, since the Pathfinder RPG didn't exist way back then.
Plot & Poison's released under the d20 license, but published by Green Ronin instead (not sure of the availability of PDFs for that, since I'd heard the d20 license expired).
You'll see quite a few non-Paizo products referenced in the Rise of the Runelords adventure path.

MM refers to the 3.5 Monster Manual (since that is a 3.5 module not a 3.p module.)
Plot & Poison is a S&S book I think. It is on my shelf at home, if you can't find it I'll post the publisher (hint it isn't Paizo)
